Social democracy has endeavoured to present itself as the 'third way' between laissez-faire capitalism and totalitarian communism. For many decades it has been regarded as one of the main currents of West European politics. This book looks at the rise to prominence of democratic socialism in two of its European strongholds, Scandinavia and Southern Europe. At the same time, the present predicament of European social democracy is analysed, including the seemingly insurmountable problems that democratic socialism is facing in liberated Eastern Europe.
